Valley Spirit Yoga Posures List


I continue to work a little each week on my new Valley Spirit Yoga Postures List.  The last release, Version 12, 25 pages, was completed on January 4, 2013.  It online version is in the PDF file format, read only, 182KB.  I hope to have the next release, Version 13,  ready for distribution on March 1, 2013. 

This list is in alphabetical order with entries under both the English name or phrase for the yoga posture (asana) and the Sanskrit name or phrase for the posture (asana, exercise, form, shi). This detailed list includes coded references to descriptions in six yoga textbooks for every named posture.  The list also includes some of the Chi Kung postures that I teach in many of my yoga classes.  Coding for each entry by the kind of yoga posture, e.g., balancing, standing, supine, lunge, backbend, etc.  Coded also for the fitness difficulty of the posture relative to restorative, beginning, intermediate and advanced students.  The list includes a bibliography and notes.
